if mom is still highly stressed and not able to sleep her doctor can give her meds to calm her. when i was awaiting my surgery i went thru a few days of high stress and could not sleep or think because i could not shut the brain off. i asked doc for meds that would not make me feel drugged but would calm this down and she gave me some meds that helped so much and i could not even tell that i had taken them other than not crying non stop and i could sleep ... so dont let her stress so bad endlessly tell her to talk to doc and calm down - our fear is normal but we need to get help with it if we cannot shut it down on our own. there is just no need to suffer endlessly ...

i will say a prayer for your mom and sis and we will trust that both reports will be good ones! please keep us posted.

the waiting is always worse than the knowing. i pray the outcome will not be as feared and chances are it is not... but i am sure it is scary for them.

i remember when my brother was told he had to have his colon removed (colon cancer runs strong in our family - my grandma, dad and all his siblings have had colon cancer and now my brother had to have his removed... ) anyways when he had to have surgery we all rushed in for colonoscopies, scared because everyone had similar symptoms (touchy gutt with many foods) but everyone else was okay ... those days of waiting and wondering were tough on everyone.... wondering who would be next ...

i pray the report for your mom and sis will be as good as the rest of us kids ... no sign of any trouble. i will watch for your report.
